  • the present disclosure relates to a structural ultra-thick steel material having excellent brittle crack initiation resistance and a method of manufacturing the same.
  • an overall structure may be insufficiently deformed due to an increase in a total reduction ratio. Therefore, the structure may be coarsened, and a difference between cooling rates of a surface portion and a central portion may occur due to a great thickness in a quenching process, so that a coarse low-temperature transformation phase such as bainite, or the like, may be formed on the surface portion to cause difficulty in securing toughness.

  • An aspect of the present disclosure is to provide a structural ultra-thick steel material having excellent brittle crack initiation resistance and a method of manufacturing the same.
  • a structural ultra-thick steel material having excellent brittle crack initiation resistance includes, by weight %, 0.03 to 0.08% of carbon (C), 1.6 to 2.2% of manganese (Mn), 0.6 to 1.3% of nickel (Ni), 0.005 to 0.03% of niobium (Nb), 0.005 to 0.02% of titanium (Ti), 0.1 to 0.4% of copper (Cu), 100 ppm or less of phosphorus (P), 40ppm or less of sulfur (S), 1.5 ppm or less of hydrogen (H), and a balance of iron (Fe) and inevitable impurities.

  • a method of manufacturing a structural ultra-thick steel material having excellent brittle crack initiation resistance includes: preparing molten steel including, by weight %, 0.03 to 0.08% of carbon (C), 1.6 to 2.2% of manganese (Mn), 0.6 to 1.3% of nickel (Ni), 0.005 to 0.03% of niobium (Nb), 0.005 to 0.02% of titanium (Ti), 0.1 to 0.4% of copper (Cu), 100 ppm or less of phosphorus (P), 40ppm or less of sulfur (S), 1.5 ppm or less of hydrogen (H), and a balance of iron (Fe) and inevitable impurities; continuously casting the molten steel to obtain a steel slab; reheating the steel slab to a temperature of 1000 to 1150°C; rough-rolling the reheated steel slab at a temperature of 900 to 1150°C; finish-rolling the rough-rolled steel slab at a temperature of Ar3 or more, based on 1/4t (where

To satisfy yield strength of 500 MPa to be obtained by the present disclosure, manganese may be added in an amount of 1.6% or more. However, when the content of manganese is greater than 1.5%, formation of upper bainite and martensite may be promoted due to an excessive increase in hardenability to significantly reduce impact toughness and brittle crack initiation resistance.

  • titanium may be added in an amount of 0.005% or more.
  • a continuous casting nozzle may be clogged or low-temperature toughness may be reduced by crystallization in a central portion. Therefore, the content of titanium may be within the range of, in detail, 0.005 to 0.02%.

  • Copper may be an important element in improving hardenability and providing solid solution strengthening to increase strength of a steel material, and may also be a main element for increasing yield strength through formation of an upsilon copper precipitate when tempering is applied to the steel material. Therefore, copper may be added in an amount of, in detail, 0.1% or more. However, when the content of copper is greater than 0.4%, cracking of a slab may occur due to hot shortness in a steelmaking process. Therefore, the content of copper may be within the range of, in detail, 0.1 to 0.4%. A lower limit of the content of copper may be, in detail, 0.12%, in further detail, 0.15%, and, in yet further detail, 0.18%. An upper limit of the content of copper may be, in detail, 0.38%, in further detail, 0.35%, and, in yet further detail, 0.32%.

  • an overall thickness CTOD test was performed on the steel material, and a test result is listed in Table 2.
  • regions of ⁇ 1 mm from a thickness center of the steel material were each optically imaged 20 times in a length direction of the steel material and a total length of cracks having a length of 30 ⁇ m or more per 1mm 2 was calculated, and then a calculation result is listed in Table 2.
  • a microstructure in a central portion of a steel material is secured as a mixed phase of 80% or more of acicular ferrite and granular bainite, and the sum of total lengths of cracks having a size of 30 ⁇ m or more per unit area of 1 mm 2 in regions of ⁇ 1 mm from the thickness center of the steel material is 130 ⁇ m or less. Accordingly, it may be confirmed that yield strength of 500 MPa or more, an average CTOD value of a base material having 0.4 mm or more, and an impact transition temperature of a central portion of -40°C or less are secured.
  • Comparative Example 1 satisfied an alloy composition proposed in the present disclosure, but yield strength thereof was 500 MPa or less as a cooling end temperature exceeded the scope of the present disclosure.
  • Comparative Example 2 satisfied an alloy composition proposed in the present disclosure, but a cooling end temperature was lower than the range of the present disclosure, so that hydrogen (H) did not sufficiently escape to the outside. Accordingly, a length of a crack in a central portion was greater than 130 ⁇ m, and thus, an impact transition temperature of the central portion was greater than -40°C and Comparative example 2 had a value less than 0.4 mm in a -10°C CTOD test representing brittle crack initiation resistance.
  • Comparative Example 3 had a value greater than the range of carbon (C) presented in the present disclosure. Accordingly, a large amount of upper bainite structure was formed due to excessive hardenability, so that an impact transition temperature of a central portion was greater than -40°C.
  • Comparative Example 4 had a value greater than the range of manganese (Mn) proposed in the present disclosure. Accordingly, a large amount of upper bainite structure was formed due to excessive hardenability, so that an impact transition temperature of a central portion was greater than -40°C. In addition, a large amount of microcracking occurred in a central segregation zone, so that Comparative Example had a value less than 0.4mm in a -10°C CTOD test.
  • Mn manganese
  • Comparative Example 5 had a value smaller than the range of carbon (C) and manganese (Mn) proposed in the present disclosure, so that a large amount of polygonal ferrite and pearlite structures was formed due to insufficient hardenability. As a result, Comparative Example had yield strength 500 MPa or less.
  • Comparative Example 6 had a value greater than the range of nickel (Ni) and copper (Cu) proposed in the present disclosure, so that a large amount of upper bainite structure was formed due to excessive hardenability. Thus, an impact transition temperature of a central portion was greater than -40°C. In addition, a large amount of microcracking occurred in a central segregation zone, so that Comparative Example 6 had a value less than 0.4mm in a -10°C CTOD test.
  • Comparative Example 7 had a value greater than the range of titanium (Ti) and niobium (Nb) presented in the present disclosure, so that a large amount of upper bainite structure was formed due to excessive precipitate generation and an increase in hardenability. As a result, an impact transition temperature of a central portion was greater than -40°C.
  • Comparative Examples 8 and 9 had a value greater than the range of hydrogen (H) proposed in the present disclosure, so that a large amount of microcracking occurred in a central portion. As a result, Comparative Examples had value less than 0.4 mm in a -10°C CTOD test. In particular, in the case of Comparative Example 9, an impact transition temperature of the central portion was greater than -40°C.
